灵心小榭赏味The ancient city of Pontferrada in the northwestern province of León, Spain, is worth visiting every year before the summer solstice. The Templar Festival in Ponferrada is really a paradise for cosplay fans and knight fans. Wow [color] All tourists can wear medieval costumes with city residents and actors to become part of the knight's festival. It's too joyful and worth an immersive experience. [strong] 🐎 Every year, with the light of the first full moon of the summer solstice, Ponferrada will usher in a 5-day holiday to hold a grand "Templars Day", of which the four-day "Templars Night" activities have different theme cruises, group tours, concerts, dinners, dramas, Clothing shows are available, and the entire Temple Castle and the streets of the small town are staged. Actors, citizens, pilgrims and tourists will travel together to the medieval times where the Knights Templar is located. ♟️ Historically, the Knights Templars emerged in 1120 to protect the pilgrimage route and pilgrims, and were only ordered by a military force of the Pope. The Temple Castle of Pomferrada is the base camp of the Knights Templars of Spain in Leoncourt. In 1312, the banking industry of the Templars in the developing century caused dissatisfaction when they urged the royal nobles to pay debts, was convicted of crimes, and gradually died. Legend has it that Spain's Templars fled after receiving early messages of persecution and repression from the French Templars, and that a large number of treasures were hidden in the valley near the Templar Castle. The story was also adapted into novels, movies, and game plots. This year's Templar Festival is held in 6.28-7.2. 🐎6.29, we changed into the Templar's white robes, participated in the honoring ceremony of the Knights General for the young new Knights, and participated in the Knights' cruise on the streets of the small town. 🦅6.30, watch the black-robed Temple Cavalry Samurai cruising, and carry a falcon in the castle to deliver war performances. The black-robed Temple Knights are generally civilian knights, and the white-robed Temple Knights are generally noble knights. 🥏 Attend the Templar Dinner. Dinner reservations are tight because only one night per year is allowed to enter the Knights Templar Castle for the Knights' Gala dinner. But the castle has only 3,000 seats, and visitors usually need to book long in advance each year. Guests must wear medieval costumes to attend. We are dressed in white robes and knights to attend the dinner. The dishes are ham foie gras salad, venison, ribs and potatoes. There are also singers and dancers improvising between tables. Adult tickets are 40 euros, children tickets are 20 euros. 🎇7.1, the large-scale live stage drama of the castle has to have thousands of costumed actors playing knights, nobles, civilians cruising, torches, lights, symphony orchestras, fireworks, interpreting the Knights Templars all the way to demonize and demonize, from Jerusalem to welcome the Ark of the Covenant and the Holy Grail, and enter the Knights Castle. The scene of the city's celebrations 🎬 Super wonderful 👗7.2, the classical costume shows from the 10th to the 16th century, the circus performance, the Celtic concert 🤡 during the Templars Day, there are also various Templars theme exhibitions, concerts, marketplaces, hand-crafting workshops, secret rooms, etc., there are many free activities, Some paid activities are generally 6-12 euros.
